If this makes the game more elegant, I think this would be a great improvement. I just don't know if it would do that or not. It sounds tedious, but if the gain is worth it, then I suggest a full piece-by-piece analysis of the ruleset of how Agora, if made to be a player, would work. I think it wou

We had the President, which was a sort of singleton semi-autonomous player. The idea of using Agora in place of an arbitrary singleton entity is relatively new, and not one that I really like to be honest. On Wed, 27 Dec 2017 at 16:00 Kerim Aydin wrote: > > > I have a vague feeling that we did

Re: DIS: [Idea] Agora is a Player

Part of the advantage is that Agora is ill-defined. For instance, Agora can own assets, but what type of entity owns the asset? It's a singleton, not really an object a coherent class. This would still allow Agora to be a special case (it has to be), but at least it would provide a framework for ha

I have a vague feeling that we did something like that before, but can't place the context - anyone else remember? Alternative: invert the assumption, in the switches rule, define player switches to include Agora unless Agora is explicitly excepted? On Wed, 27 Dec 2017, Cuddle Beam wrote: >

It might have a lot of unintended consequences, because "player" and "Agora" weren't thought to supposed to work together. But with ample revisions, I'm sure it would work. On Wed, Dec 27, 2017 at 8:40 PM, Aris Merchant < thoughtsoflifeandligh...@gmail.com> wrote: > Rule X ("Zombies") states that

2017-12-27 Thread Aris Merchant
Rule X ("Zombies") states that "Master is a secured player switch with possible values of any player, and Agora". This type of boilerplate pops up all over the place throughout the ruleset. What if we instead said that Agora was always a player, but only took actions if the ruleset said that e did
